USE OF GYPSUM,
Gsouna Laud Master and Its Action in
Stable and Field,

Gsouna Laud Master and Its Action in
STABLE and Field.
The use Of plaster is very generally
misunderstood. The crude ground
gypsum of commerce, usually called
Lad plaster. and which is sold in Chi
caso at about 81. 80 per barrel. is WHAT
used for sowing ongrass. Many persons
suppose that plaster of Paris is identical
with this, Plaster of Paris is calcined
2gpsum ground TO powder. This
lakes it entirely inert when sown on
me soil. and IL is also unfit for using in
tables, etc, to take up and decompose
the liquid manure.
The action of crude plaster in the
table is twotold. 1t sbsorbs a large
quantity Of liquid. The nitrogen of
the liquid manure is converted into q
snlphate and held. and the plaster is
changed into another form of lime, as
carbonate. Many persons use quioklime
in stables. This is wrong. 1t converts
the nitrogen into a volatile compound.
whereas plaster (sulphate of lime)
fixes the nitrogen, thus preventing
ldors, and at tho same time holds this
most valuable liquid constituent intact
Lntil, when applied to the soil. it is in
a proper condition to be taken up by
plants.
Crude ground gypsum acts. there
fore, beth mechanically in absorbing
liquids and also chemically in convert
ing and holding them for use. 1t is
not a disinfeotsnt, but it is one of the
best deodo,izrs of heterogeneous sub
stances known. Have you a stable
whore in the morning the ammonia
fumes are percoptibie to the smell. use
plaster freely in the horse stalls until
they are saturated with these ammonia
compounds. 1t prevents all odor and
will hold these valuable constituents
the most costly in agriculture-until
applied to the land, and then will also
subserve all the good uses of lime.-

MISSIONS IN CHINA,

Libcrality Among the Chinese Which
Might BE Followed In "Civilized" Coun-
tries.
The Chinese G overnment has issued
instructions to the local Governors, in
pursuance of which these officials
have put forth proclamations warning
the people against the persecution of
missionaries and Christians.

OF Che-Kiang, that the sole object of
establishing chapels is to exhort men
to do right; those who embrace Chris
tianity do not cease to be Chinese, and
both sides should therefore continue to
live in peace, and not let mutual jeal-
ousies be the cause of strife between
them
Likewise Kung, the Governor of the
province in which Shanghai is situated,
after explaining that under the treaties
missionaries have tho right to hold
land and houses, on lease, and to travel
about and preach, "their sole aim being
the incubation of the practice of virtue,
and having no design Of interfering
with the business Of the people," goes
on to say: "Such Of the subjects Of
China as wish to become converts may
lawfully do so, and as long as they alb
stain from evil doings there is no law
prescribing inquisition into or prohibit
ton Of their action" For the d~estruc-
ton Of chapels and houses, in disturb
ances increased "by local vagabonds
and bad characters" summary
vengeance will he taken.
Bear in mind" adds the
Governor, 'that when missionaries live
in the midst Of your villages you and
they are mutually in the relationship Of
host and guest. Under ordinary cir.
cumstances it is your foremost duty to
act toward them with courtesy and for.
%eearance. Should any misunderstand-
ing arise, let each submit his side to
the local authorities, and on no account
give rein to ill-considered resentment,
and fall, owing to the impulse Of a mo-
ment, in the net Of the law"

the Legends of tho Norsemen.
The eagle holds a prominent place
in the mythology of nearly all nations,
and especially in the mythology of the
North. ''There is an eagle" says the
Morse legend, 'sitting on the ash
Yggdrasil who knows many things"
The eagle was the messenger Of war
and of warriors, and was often con-
suited in the councils of the chiefs.
Equally beloved by ferocious and pred
atory peoples was the raven, which
scents slaughter from afar, and is the
comradc and emblem of the battle
field. In the Morse legends two ravens,

the special mark of Odin, and some
times used for Thor. for armlets have
been found in Sweden and Denmark,
where a raven flies before the mounted
figure of Odin, and again is seen in
company with the hammer of Thor.
The sons Of Ragnar, the hero, carried
a raven before them to war. which
tapped its wings before victory and
dropped them before defeat. The
swan also figures prominently in North
ern mythology. Two swans, parents
OF all those who dwell on earth, had
their home in the holy spring beneath
the world-tree Yggdrasil, wherein the
eagle sat. The Valkyrer, the holy
maidens, had swan wings, and were
able to change themselves into swans.

THE POETRY OF LIFE.
A Couple Married Fifty Years After
Plighting Their Troth.


Some Of the papers of the city an
nounced among their marriage notices
not long ago, the simple fact that Man.
vile Thorp and Eunice H. Teachant
had been married by the Rev. Hiram
Cummings. Behind this plain state.
ment lurked a story which goes to show
that this life is not all prose, after all,
as some pessimists have e%ndeavored to
maintain.
The groom, who is Il native Of New
York. bears the signs Of seventy-nlne
winters upon his head, and the blush
ing bride is a well-preserved woman
who has seen seventy-two summers
come and 60. but the world
and the elements have treated
her SO kindly that she does
and seem over sixty years old. More
than fifty years ago, before the era of
telephones, matrimonial agencies, di-
vorce lawyers and some other modern
devices now but too we'll known, and
when this land Of untold wealth was a
far-off, rather mystical abode of Span
iards and Digger Indians, Manvillc and
Eunice, then about the age when life is
a happy dream, plighted their troth in
a little village in New York, and swore
TO be true to each other until 'the sun
grew cold, and the stars grew old. and
the leaves of the judgment book UNI.
fold.' But it was the old, old story.
Manville found it necessary to remove
his abode from New York to
the little State of Ohio, Just
then beginning to show its we'll
known modesty. Before leaving the
scenes of his boyhood he again plighted
troth with Eunice, and they parted. 1t
was not long before their VOWS were
broken by an interposition Of Provi-
dence and a clergyman. The young
Ohio immigrant married a daughter of
his adopted State, and with the we'll
known energy of Ohio men endeavored
to raise the standard of the community,
with which object in view he caused
the population to increase, in time, by
five sturdy youngsters, the Youngest of
whom is now thirty years old. The loving
girl in New York also found another
heart, to the owner of which she in
trusted her destinics. After twelve
years OF matrimonial bliss she became
a widow, and some time after came to
this coast with one of her daughters.
1t was about this time that Manvillc
Thorp became a widower. The minds
of both then wandered back to the
scenes Of younger days, and although
for thirty years they had not gazed on
one another's face, yet each yearned to
look into the others eyes and ascertain
if indeed the old love was after all the
best. Each wrote to the postmaster of
their formerh home and to mutual friends
to ascertain the Others residence. This
being discovered, a correspondence
was commenced between them, and
soon Mr.. Thorp followed his letters and
to this city to claim his sweet
heart of years ago.
1t is said that Mrs. Thorp is one of
the heirs to the great Mosher estate of
which is popularity valued at
$3.50, 900, 000. -San francisco CAron-
